Define Time Ranges for ACEs

Use the Time Ranges tab page to define time ranges for all Access Control Entries (ACEs).

To define time ranges for an ACE

1. Select Enabled from the State drop-down list, if it is not already selected by default.

   Time ranges for ACEs are enabled.

2. Specify a name for the time range in the Name field.
3. Specify the time period using the Hours field.

   A single entry refers to a 30-minute period, whereas a time range entry with two values is as specified. For example, entering a value of 7:00 indicates a 7:00 to 7:30 time period, whereas entering 7:00 - 9:00 indicates a 7:00 to 9:00 time period.

   Time entries currently have a granularity of 30 minutes; you can only specify a time entry with "00" or "30" as the minute component. So, for example, a time range of 8:00 - 11:30 is valid, but 8:10 - 11:15 is not. (See the examples at the end of this procedure.)

4. Specify the time range by days by selecting a value from the Type drop-down list. Valid values are Normal Weekdays and Special Dates.

   Default: Normal Weekdays

5. For Normal Weekdays only, select the days of the week in the Days field.

   This value can be any combination from Sunday to Saturday, for example, Sunday Tuesday or Monday - Friday. (See the examples at the end of this procedure.)

6. For Special Dates only, enter the date using the Year, Month, and Day fields. For example, for Boxing Day 2008, a holiday celebrated in the United Kingdom, Canada, and elsewhere, enter 2008, 12, and 26, respectively.

   For each of these fields, the number 0 (zero) represents a wild-card match, so 0/7/4 (Y/M/D) would match the 4th of July for all years. (See the examples at the end of this procedure.)

7. Click Add.

   The time range is added to the Time Ranges table.

8. (Optional) Select a time range in the Time Ranges table and click Remove to remove it from the list.
9. (Optional) Click Local to set the time range configuration policies to Locally Managed.
10. (Optional) Click Default to reset the time range configuration policies to the original default values.
11. Click Check to perform immediate validation of the data entered without committing the data.
12. If cross-field or cross-table validation is successful, click Apply.
13. Click the Access Control tab.
